Can I Run It?

Pick the game, your GPU and your CPU. We compare them against the official minimum and recommended specs and tell you which tier your build lands in.

Requirements by game

How the verdict works

Every GPU and CPU in the picker is mapped to an approximate performance tier. A game lists two checkpoints: the official minimum spec and the recommended spec. Your build clears a checkpoint only when both the GPU and the CPU meet it — a strong graphics card cannot compensate for a weak processor, and vice versa.

“Playable” means the game should run at minimum settings; “Comfortable” means you should hit the recommended experience. Real-world results still depend on drivers, cooling and background apps — treat the verdict as a solid first check, not a benchmark.

Frequently asked questions

My GPU is not on the list — what now?

Pick the closest tier: a card one generation older in the same product line is usually a safe stand-in. Laptop GPUs run slower than their desktop namesakes, so choose one tier lower.

Does “below minimum” mean the game will not start?

Not necessarily — many games still launch but with heavy stutter or very low frame rates. Below minimum means the publisher does not support that hardware.

Are laptop GPUs counted the same as desktop ones?

No. A mobile RTX 4060 performs closer to a desktop RTX 3060. When in doubt, pick one tier below your laptop GPU's name.
